TMLC notes the ambitious target of a minimum of 20% biodiversity net gain for development. TMLC is supportive of ambitious targets for biodiversity having already delivered a 46% BNG during its delivery of Trumpington Meadows and its wildlife rich 150 acre Country Park. The biodiversity-led approach at Trumpington Meadows has been recognised with the project winning the Landscape Institute’s 2021 National Award for Excellent in Biodiversity Conservation and Enhancement. This highly successful strategy can be adopted at Trumpington South, delivering further significant landscape, recreational and biodiversity enhancements to this portion of the Cambridge Green Belt.

BG/GI: Green infrastructure

TMLC supports the objective to enhance the existing green infrastructure network and address how development proposals can link in with green infrastructure. The aim for all development proposals to include green infrastructure is beneficial for the people of Greater Cambridge.
When considering the proposed site allocation ‘Trumpington South’, the site is already surrounded by extensive green infrastructure, this includes the 150 acre Trumpington Meadows Country Park (Delivered by TMLC in partnership with the Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire & Northamptonshire Wildlife Trust) and the River Cam river corridor, both located immediately to the North West of the site. Indeed, the Trumpington South proposals include a potential expansion of these wildlife rich ‘green lungs’ for the City by a further 33%. The management of this open space could be integrated with the successful operation of the Country Park; now a proven community asset delivered and managed for 10 years by TMLC.

BG/EO: Providing and enhancing open spaces

TMLC supports the provision of open space and recreation provision within new development and that this is appropriate to the scale and location of the development. Trumpington South is able to provide double the open space requirements, but also act to enhance access to and connection with existing open space provision in the Trumpington Meadows Country Park. As at Trumpington Meadows, extensive multi-functional open space can be delivered that will provide benefits well in excess of the policy requirements. The scale of the GI proposed can further augment the strong landscape setting to the City established as part of the Trumpington Meadows project. It can provide major additional recreational opportunities for people of all ages and abilities and, as with the existing county park, further help to integrate new and existing communities at Trumpington.

Wellbeing and inclusion

The aim of the wellbeing and social inclusion policies contained are to help everyone in Greater Cambridge to “lead healthier and happier lives, ensuring that everyone benefits from the development of new homes and jobs”. TMLC wholly support this aim as ‘Healthy Placemaking’ is a key part of the Vision of the site. The masterplan for the site has been designed so that neighbourhoods have ready access to spaces and routes for exercise, recreation and simply travelling about on foot and bicycle, all of which can result in significant health benefits to those who live there. The site is also adjacent to the Trumpington Meadows Country Park and the various benefits that this provides to the residents of Cambridge .

GP/PP: People and place responsive design

TMLC supports the overarching ambitions of proposed Policy GP/PP in that development should take into consideration the area in which it is located. However, TMLC recommends that as the policy is developed consideration is given to ensuring there is sufficient flexibility for well-designed and high-quality buildings to come forward even if they are taller than the surrounding townscape. High quality taller landmark buildings can have a positive impact on their setting by adding to the townscape and this should be allowed for within the policy.

TMLC supports the requirement that new developments should respect, retain, and enhance the local landscape character, this is an important part of a sustainable development. As mentioned in the Greater Cambridge Landscape Character Assessment (2021), Trumpington already benefits from the Trumpington Meadows Country Park, which is a nature reserve and provides pockets of tranquillity with a network of walking trails open to the public.
